01
The problem
Hydro, water, and offshore operators had no dedicated hiring channel. Generic job boards missed the specialist context these roles require.
02
Approach
Designed a role taxonomy with domain experts, built a Postgres-backed search with Algolia, and shipped an employer dashboard focused on trust signals.
03
Outcome
HydroJob became a category-leading niche board with a healthy match rate and paying employers within the first year.
